Ryan's Hope Discussion Thread

I believe the young lady doing the leg lift is the first Katie Thompson (Cathleen's daughter).  She was briefly played by Lauren O'Bryan before Julia Campbell took over the role.  Pru is the one petting the horse in the intro.

Thank you for being kind and replying. I had forgotten about that character. (wish they'd had Kathleen come back to visit at that point)

Watching the credits again, the differences aren't as strong - the late '80s differences are the starkest.

A partial episode from June 1985 was uploaded - I don't think it's been up before. You get Susan Marie Snyder's brief appearance. In a lengthy set piece where Rick is going undercover in some punk bar, he introduces himself to her. There's a surprising moment where when she says her name is Sam, he is thrown and is about to ask a very personal question before she further explains that it is short for Samantha.

Grant Show is one of those guys who is classically very good looking, but I'm not sure how often I've ever actually felt attracted to him. This episode is an exception. He just looks hot as hell in what they put him in and how they do his hair and face. I can't say I go back to this period of the show very often, but I certainly am glad I watched this one.
